In February 2026, the Ministry of Immigration and Asylum issued a tender for intercultural mediation in health services, under the North Aegean Regional Development Plan, funded by the European Social Fund (ESF+). The aim is to provide in-person and remote intercultural mediation/interpretation in health services in order to ensure access to services and equal and effective communication for third-country citizens with doctors, nursing staff and the administration of health units. Implementation will be undertaken by healthcare structures in the region of Thessaly and non-governmental organisations.
This action was included in the Regional Programs of Attica, the South Aegean, the North Aegean, Central Greece and Crete, following a proposal by the Directorate of Social Inclusion, within the framework of the National Strategy for the social integration of third-country nationals.
